Chapter 511 What's your name again, Lei something?
"Do you have any idea what that person brought? Any information will do—type, style, size, dimensions?"
Xu Ning felt that all the key points probably lay here, so that their next actions could be targeted effectively.
Setare frowned slightly. "There was no information at all. Even the people who came with him were all very well disguised, and it was impossible to tell what nationality they were. That's why I had no idea that the Fools were involved."
Setare's words gave Xu Ning an idea.
Call upon Master Ji and have it transform its form into the likeness of Kolai.
“Setare, you hold a high position in the College of the Church, and Tinari also has some prestige. He has come here to find his teacher. As Tinari’s younger apprentice, I should be able to follow you into the College of the Church, right?”
Although Setare seemed somewhat unwilling, in her eyes, Xu Ning was almost synonymous with a dangerous element.
However, judging from their discussion just now, it seems that a great change has occurred in the Order of the Church, and that project is probably not related to the restoration of the World Tree as the Great Sage said.
Reluctantly nodding, Setare said, "I can only take you to the inner gate of the Council of the Church. If we go any further in, there will be too many acquaintances, and someone will definitely come up to ask us questions."
Xu Ning smiled. "That's enough."
Xu Ning turned to Tinali and said, "Then let's do it this way. When you get to the inner gate of the Faculty, go find your teacher and leave me outside."
"Shen He and Wendy will stay outside to hold off the group of thirty. Kong Bing and I will split into two groups, one going into the Order Academy and the other to the Pure Good Palace, to try to divide the Doctor's forces. If he doesn't have any extra executives with him, he won't be able to pose a threat to both of us at the same time..."
Setare interrupted, stammering, "How... how come there are so many people? Didn't you say you were alone? With so many guards, they won't just let you through easily, will they?"
Xu Ning laughed and said, "Of course, it's still just one person. Oh, right, I also need to take someone with me. I'll see you out first, sorry."
Xu Ning pointed a finger at Setare's forehead, knocking her unconscious again, and then led Tinari and Setare out of the Hidden Cave.
After telling Tinaly to wait a moment, Xu Ning went straight to the Adventurers' Guild and asked Nasita, who was enthusiastically observing the surrounding pedestrians, if she wanted to join them in causing a ruckus at the Order of the Church.
Nasida knew Xu Ning's capabilities; if he said he would cause a big disturbance, then he really would.
To him, all the people of Sumeru were his dearest subjects, but to Xu Ning, just as he acted recklessly in his dream, he could kill many of the people of Sumeru without any psychological burden.
If we let him cause trouble...
"I'll go with you. Let's try not to hurt anyone and focus on investigating the Church Council's construction project..."
Xu Ning knew her worries. "What, are you worried I'll go on a killing spree at the Order of the Church? I hate fighting the most. You can tell from my moves that I used harmless alcohol that I knew I wouldn't do much harm to those people in the dream..."
Xu Ning explained all the way, but he couldn't dispel Naxida's worries about him.
Before Setare woke up, Xu Ning sent Catherine, who was possessed by Nasita, into his own cave, and then transformed into the appearance of Cole, sitting obediently next to Tina, quietly waiting for Setare to wake up.
It was getting dark soon, and there were fewer people in the Order of the Church at night, making it easier for them to move around, so Xu Ning and Tina Li weren't in a hurry.
When Setale slowly woke up, she got up, tidied her clothes, and, as promised, led Tinari and Xu Ning toward the Church Council.
With her leading the way, the guards on the stone steps did not conduct any checks and simply let the three of them slowly walk upwards.
However, when Xu Ning reached the square in front of the Order of the Church, he was surprised to find that nearly a hundred people had gathered there, densely packed together.
There were students and ordinary people inside, all sitting quietly, as if waiting for someone.
"Is today a special day? Or is the Order of the Fathers holding some kind of event?"
Xu Ning, disguised as Ke Lai, whispered behind the two of them.
In fact, Xu Ning knew that he had asked a redundant question. Although he did not know much about the situation on the spot, there was an invisible but real barrier between the scholars and commoners of Sumeru, and between the group of thirty and the other gilded tour groups. It was impossible for them to participate in the same event so harmoniously.
Not to mention the eerie atmosphere that's been building up all of a sudden.
“I know you’ve never been a very patient person, but I didn’t expect you to come back so soon after your defeat yesterday.”
The doctor, wearing a bird mask, walked out of the main gate of the Order of the Church and looked at Setare and Tinali behind Xu Ning.
When the real culprit appeared, Xu Ning realized that he and his companions had fallen into the doctor's trap.
Reaching out, Xu Ning removed a leaf from his forehead, shedding his disguise. He glanced across the platform, his left hand, clutching the wine gourd, subtly releasing the aroma of alcohol.
"It seems you're still firmly in the second tier among the Fatui Enforcers, yet you dare not confront me head-on? You deliberately sent so many people here to cause trouble; do you think I care about their lives?"
Xu Ning took a step forward and said coldly to the doctor.
The doctor chuckled lightly. "Strictly speaking, most of my skills lie in scientific research; combat isn't really my forte. Since there's an easy way to resolve combat, why bother with all the fighting? As for their lives, if you don't care, someone else will. You wouldn't want your companions to become your enemies, would you?"
Tina's face also turned extremely ugly.
As the doctor said, as a member of the Sumeru school, it was impossible for him to disregard the lives of so many people.
"Xu Ning... perhaps we should consider this further..."
Xu Ning raised his hand to stop Tina Li from speaking, "Wait a little longer."
The doctor chuckled as he listened to their conversation, "Why don't I help you make the decision?"
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, the virtual terminals in everyone's ears on the platform suddenly lit up.
Everyone seemed to wake up instantly, turning their gazes to Xu Ning and the other two.
"Don't worry, they're not aggressive, just a little too enthusiastic. After all, in their Void Terminal, I set the three of you as heroes who save the world. They just want to hug you."
Tina glanced at the railings around the platform, which offered almost no protection. "Xu Ning can't wait any longer. This platform is too high, and they are all ordinary people. If they crowd over here, they'll fall..."
"It doesn't matter."
Xu Ning calmly opened his right hand, "The Land of Gentle Bliss."
The smell of alcohol emanating from him stirred up the previous smell, instantly enveloping everyone on the platform.
The strong smell of alcohol permeated the air, and everyone involuntarily began to sway.
In an instant, the entire platform became an arena for the battle between the doctor and Xu Ning.
The doctor controlled the mind, while Xu Ning controlled the body; in the end, Xu Ning prevailed in the power struggle.
As these people, exhausted and drunk, collapsed one by one, the doctor hiding behind them was naturally revealed.
However, before Xu Ning could make a move against the doctor, a noisy sound came from below the platform.
Setare glanced down and her face turned pale instantly. "There are even more people rushing up from below."
Xu Ning calmly said, "It's alright, they won't..."
"No, someone will get hurt if this continues."
Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared on the Dust Concealment Gourd, and Catherine, possessed by Nasita, appeared beside Xu Ning and said, "Let me do it."
Nasita clasped her hands together, and a green light spread out, instantly silencing the noisy sounds.
"Hmm? Interesting. You were able to suddenly undo... no, not undo, but actually use your own consciousness to occupy everyone's thoughts. Such a powerful consciousness, you must be the God of Wisdom?"
The doctor looked at Catherine's body curiously. "We still have some steps ahead that require your help, so we can't let you run around like this..."
Before the doctor could finish speaking, noise suddenly rose again in the quiet night sky.
"Someone broke in."
It was coming from above; it was the voice of the blind caretaker of the Silent Garden.
Several guards above seemed to respond, but then screams rang out, indicating that the guards above had been knocked down.
"They even arranged for someone to go to Jingshan Palace. Hmm, not a bad arrangement. Was it your clone?"
The doctor reacted very quickly, instantly recalling the wind elemental clone that Xu Ning had displayed yesterday, but even so, he didn't feel much tension.
Xu Ning couldn't even talk to the doctor at this moment; all his attention was focused on the wind elemental body above him.
Moreover, this time he didn't simply send the wind elemental to the Palace of Purity alone, but brought Wendy along.
After all, according to his guess, Little Auspicious Grass King has never dared to show her true form in the world. It is very likely that she has been placed under house arrest in the Pure Good Palace by the Order of the Instruction. This would give a very good explanation for the Order of the Instruction's attitude towards her.
After all, who would worship a god who is not even as powerful as themselves?
Xu Ning brought Wendy along, hoping that this lazy guy would see the deity who had lost his freedom and take the initiative to help, thus forming a good relationship with the deity of Sumeru.
After easily knocking out several guards, Xu Ning's elemental clone, carrying Wendy, charged straight into the gates of the Pure Good Palace.
The first thing you see is a magnificent and enormous birdcage.
Despite the palace's exquisite and magnificent construction, it couldn't change the fact that the room in the center, where the little girl was imprisoned, resembled a birdcage.
At the pier leading to the birdcage stood a young man dressed in purple, looking arrogantly at Xu Ning and his companion who had rushed in.
"Huh, what are you doing here? Lei... Lei... what did the Divine Child say your name was, Lei... Cannon?"
